larry's

i've been to larry's in venice twice now. the first time was for their happy hour a couple weekends ago, on a cold and rainy afternoon. the second was a warm, sunny sunday for lunch. consists of a covered outdoor patio and a bar - i really like the industrial comfort feel, and its quite a nice little haven on windward avenue, just off the boardwalk.

their happy hour menu consists of pizzas and a few small plates; lunch is pizzas, sandwiches and salads. the food is decently sized and not overly expensive, though not cheap either.

potted chicken liver and foie gras parfait.

porkalicious pizza.

short rib grilled cheese.

the small butter lettuce and vegetable salad (not pictured) you get for $9 is a bit of a rip-off no matter how tasty it is, but the $13 pork cheek BLT that i ordered at the same meal more than made up for it. especially since i could barely pick the thing up, and the braised pork cheeks were melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness, and it came with a chunk out of the biggest pickle i have ever seen.

attempting to eat the pork cheek BLT.

the delightful beer menu.
